Upon first release, the Velvet Underground's self-titled third album must have surprised their fans nearly as much as their first two albums shocked the few mainstream music fans who heard them. After testing the limits of how musically and thematically challenging rock could be on The Velvet Underground & Nico and White Light/White Heat, this 1969 release sounded spare, quiet, and contemplative, as if the previous albums documented some manic, speed-fueled party and this was the subdued morning after. (The album's relative calm has often been attributed to the departure of the band's most committed avant-gardist, {|John Cale|}, in the fall of 1968; the arrival of new bassist {|Doug Yule|}; and the theft of the Velvets' amplifiers shortly before they began recording.) But {|Lou Reed|}'s lyrical exploration of the demimonde is as keen here as on any album he ever made, while displaying a warmth and compassion he sometimes denied his characters. Candy Says, Pale Blue Eyes, and I'm Set Free may be more muted in approach than what the band had done in the past, but What Goes On and Beginning to See the Light made it clear that the VU still loved rock & roll, and The Murder Mystery (which mixes and matches four separate poetic narratives) is as brave and uncompromising as anything on {|White Light/White Heat|}. This album sounds less like the accepted archetypes of the Velvet Underground than any of their studio albums, but it's as personal, honest, and moving as anything Lou Reed ever committed to tape. [In 2014, Polydor/Universal released a 45th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of The Velvet Underground that expanded the album to two discs. Disc one features a remastered version of engineer Val Valentin's mix of the album; while some fans might wonder why the label didn't opt to use Lou Reed's preferred closet mix, this version sounds a bit gentler than it has in previous editions, and this is as good as Valentin's mix has ever sounded on CD. The bonus disc features 12 tunes from a two-night stand the Velvets played at the Matrix, a rock club in San Francisco, in November 1969. While excerpts from the Matrix tapes surfaced on the album 1969: Velvet Underground Live, the recordings were remixed for this release from the recently uncovered original multi-track tapes, and the audio is strikingly superior while the performances are splendid. Even for fans who already have the Valentin mix of The Velvet Underground on disc, the addition of the live material is enough that most VU fans will want to consider upgrading to this release.] Music>Music>Pop Rock>Pop Rock>Pop Rock, Polydor / Umgd Core >3<
